After a moment of contemplation, the Moon Goddess told them, "To dispel the deathly aura from Ye Cang, you must obtain the Xingyue Wuhen."

"As the saying goes, the sun, moon, and stars represent three different types of cosmic energy. The significance of the stars lies in the fact that in this vast and ethereal universe, the stars are countless."

"In other words, the meaning represented by the stars is infinite light and infinite power, and only this infinite power can endlessly and limitlessly dispel the absolute deathly aura of the Netherworld."

This was the first time Feng Lei had heard of the Xingyue Wuhen. He asked, puzzled, "Sister Moon Goddess, what exactly is this Xingyue Wuhen... and where is it?"

Tai Yao frowned and slowly said, "The Xingyue Wuhen is located in the Shíkōng zhī Fēi (Gates of Time and Space). To obtain the Xingyue Wuhen, you must first defeat the guardian who guards the Shíkōng zhī Fēi."

"And this gatekeeper guarding the Shíkōng zhī Fēi is not easy to deal with..." After saying that, Tai Yao sighed.

Hearing this, Feng Lei immediately stood up and said, "Sister Tai Yao, just tell me, what is the name of this gatekeeper and where can I find them?"

The Moon Goddess giggled and said with a smile, "Actually... the gatekeeper of the Shíkōng zhī Fēi doesn't have very high martial prowess. However, she can see through the deepest, most hidden shadows in a person's heart."

"In other words, if you want to defeat her, you must first defeat yourself. Because... each of us has unknown pasts deep within our hearts, and no one can escape the past."

"So... once you are trapped in your own illusion and cannot escape... then you will be forever lost and eventually die."

Feng Lei was not as innocent as Luke, nor as adaptable as Ye Cang.

But Feng Lei always firmly believed in his life's creed: never admit defeat, never give up. The passion imprinted in his body and the unparalleled pride engraved in his bones drove him and motivated him.

He always firmly believed that one day, he would become the man who could shake the universe.

The Moon Goddess had no more concerns. With a wave of her hand, a circular gap tore open in space.

"Alright... the time-space tunnel has been opened for you. If you have the guts, then this matter is entrusted to you. As long as you can bring back the Xingyue Wuhen... I guarantee to save your friend."

"Okay! It's a deal!" After saying that, Feng Lei leaped into the time-space tunnel.

A moment later, Feng Lei appeared on his home planet, where he was lying in a coffin.

Suddenly, Feng Lei roared, and his thunder strings were like a mad dragon crashing against the shore, like angry thunderous waves.

Boom! In an instant, the coffin was shattered into powder by the thunder strings.

Looking around... Feng Lei was now in a mass grave. On top of the hill, three words could be vaguely seen on a dilapidated stone tablet: General's Tomb.

"General's Tomb?"

Feng Lei suddenly thought of something. He quickly checked the surrounding environment again and discovered, "This... this is where my godfather told me he rescued me from a coffin! How did I end up here!"

As he was wondering, sharp screams came from the village not far down the mountain.

"It's the aura of a phantom beast! Ha!"

Feng Lei shouted, and thunder strings spread throughout his body. With a single leap, Feng Lei was already down the mountain.

Sure enough... a Class D phantom beast was wreaking havoc in the village and taking lives.

A lightning afterimage instantly flashed across the phantom beast's body...

The Class D phantom beast was as if struck by divine punishment and instantly turned to ashes.

Feng Lei confidently said to the crowd, "Everyone, don't panic. With me, Feng Lei, here, I guarantee your safety."

Looking at the crowd, the villagers seemed unable to see Feng Lei.

"Hey! I'm talking to you! Answer me!" Feng Lei shouted at the crowd.

Even so, the villagers still couldn't hear or see Feng Lei, as if he were air.

Frustrated, a villager walked straight through Feng Lei's body.

Feng Lei subconsciously touched his body, wondering if something was wrong.

"How... how could he pass through my body?"

Feng Lei looked at the crowd again, and they still treated him as air.

It turned out that Feng Lei was already trapped in the illusion cast by Kong Cheng, the guardian of the Shíkōng zhī Fēi.

Unfortunately, Feng Lei didn't realize that this current illusion was created by Kong Cheng, the guardian of the Shíkōng zhī Fēi.

Just then, a young girl with delicate and gentle features walked into the village carrying a comatose young man on her back.

This young man had horns on his head and ten dragon-like claws. At first glance, he looked like a human figure transformed from a dragon.

The villagers immediately pointed and made rude remarks at the girl.

But the girl still pretended not to hear anything and carried the dragon-man back to her hut.

Seeing this, Feng Lei followed. He was about to knock on the door, but passed right through it, entering the room.

"What... what's wrong with me? Damn it, am I dead? I didn't get the Xingyue Wuhen, and I'm already done for? I'm too useless..."

At this time, the girl was still busy.

She heated water and used a hot towel to wipe the face of the comatose dragon-man. After a while, the dragon-man suddenly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, the dragon-man, who had been unconscious for so long, immediately got up. "Where am I? What was that heavenly lightning just now? Why was I struck by lightning?"

Seeing the dragon-man wake up, the girl hurriedly asked with concern, "Ah... you're awake. You were struck by a heavenly lightning bolt and then fell unconscious. That's why I carried you back home."

After getting up, the dragon-man stretched and asked, "Girl, what's your name?"

"Ah... my name is Nuo Wu, what's yours?" The girl looked at the dragon-man with her big, round eyes.

Nuo Wu's eyes were clear, bright, and moving.

The dragon-man's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, "I... my name is Azka."
